What is the wireless range of the receiver?

The effective range is up to 33 feet (10 meters) in open space. Walls and obstacles may reduce the range.

Can I use the receiver while it is charging?

Yes, the DDB-BTN44 supports simultaneous charging and audio playback. Simply connect the micro USB cable and enjoy.

How do I reset the receiver to factory settings?

If the device becomes unresponsive, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until the LED turns off and then back on. This resets the device.

Does the receiver support aptX or other high-quality codecs?

The DDB-BTN44 supports SBC and AAC codecs. It does not support aptX or LDAC.

Can I connect two Bluetooth devices at once?

No, the receiver connects to only one device at a time. However, you can switch between paired devices by disconnecting and reconnecting.

What audio outputs are available?

The receiver provides a 3.5 mm stereo jack and RCA (red/white) outputs, allowing connection to speakers, home stereos, or car audio systems.

How long does the battery last?

The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous playback on a full charge.

Why is the audio distorted or cutting out?

Check that the receiver is within range and not near sources of interference like Wi-Fi routers or microwaves. Also ensure the source device's volume is not too high to avoid clipping.

Is the receiver compatible with all Bluetooth devices?

It is compatible with most devices supporting Bluetooth 4.0 and above, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and televisions with Bluetooth capability.

APPLICATION: The D SERIES-BTN44 modules are wall-mounted user Dante audio interfaces that include bidirectional Bluetooth audio, unbalanced analog stereo or mono audio inputs and outputs, and a balanced or unbalanced line-level output. Stereo audio from a compatible Bluetooth-enabled device feeds two Dante network audio channels. Stereo audio connected to a front-panel Mini-Jack or L and R RCA jacks feeds two other Dante network audio channels.

Stereo audio is available to users through a front-panel Mini-Jack fed from two Dante network channels. A rear-panel terminal block provides either a balanced (+4 dBu) or unbalanced (-10 dBV) output from one Dante network channel. That output may feed a variety of RDL wall panels to provide a specific mic or line level output to users, or it may be used to feed the audio power amplifier in the associated audio zone. One Dante channel may be routed back to a connected device through the Bluetooth interface enabling full duplex communication.

The D SERIES-BTN44 modules are powered from PoE. The installer can customize the module name and programming password through the Bluetooth connection using a smartphone, computer or tablet terminal program. These modules feature studio-quality circuits and analog filters to provide audio performance exceeding expectations from consumer interface technologies. High performance, simplicity of operation and efficiency of installation make RDL the best value in professional Bluetooth interfaces.

Fasten this unit into a wall box or chassis by threading the four mounting screws (included) into the corresponding holes in the wall box/chassis.

Instructions for Bluetooth pairing

These instructions are based on the default RDL unit identification as RDL_BT_FA. If the RDL unit has been renamed by the installer, substitute the new name for RDL_BT_FA in the following steps.

PAIRING

1] Press and hold the PAIR button until the blue LED on the RDL unit illuminates, then release.

Note: The blue LED flashes as long as the unit is available for pairing. If the blue LED stops flashing before the pairing process is completed, restart these steps.

2] While the blue LED is flashing, locate RDL_BT_FA on your device's Bluetooth settings and click PAIR DEVICE, following screen prompts to complete the pairing process.

Note: The blue LED glows steady while the RDL unit is paired.

UN-PAIRING

The RDL unit will unpair automatically 30 seconds after the user device leaves the area. The user device may be manually disconnected by pressing and holding the PAIR button on the RDL unit.

RE-PAIRING

1] Press and hold the PAIR button until the blue LED on the RDL unit illuminates, then release.

2] While the blue LED is flashing, locate RDL_BT_FA under Previously Connected Devices on your device's Bluetooth settings and click RDL_BT_FA, following screen prompts to complete the re-pairing process.

Note: If the re-pairing fails, click Forget Device on the user device and pair the RDL unit as a new device.

Upon successful pairing, the user device applications for audio playback through a Bluetooth interface may be used.
